Energy Materials

Biography

Eva’s interest in energy materials was sparked by her research experience and renewable energy courses she took while pursuing her Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering. In her junior year, Eva started working with Dr. Kate Klein at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where she mainly worked with the Orion® Helium Ion Microscope. Their research work was focused on helium ion-material interaction in both thin films and bulk substrates of various materials. Eva also enjoyed working in collaboration with other research groups of diverse disciplines, and is looking forward to the same rewarding experience offered at the Bredesen Center.
